Thanks for your response and am glad to know that it is still for sale.However i have few questions on the item you are selling.

1,I would like to know the reason you are selling it...?

2,What is the current condition of the item..?

3,What is your price, though am alright with the listed price..?

4,Do you have the original box and the receipt for it ..?

5,I will be responsible for the fees of the shipping,packaging and your transport expenses(i will add $200.00). I'm out of town to visit my sick grandma and i would like to purchase it from you as a Birthday Gift to one of my friend in Oversea via USPS International Express Mail Service (3-5days)

6,Get back to me with your PayPal Email id for the instant payment, .If you do not have a PayPal account, you can set one up free of charge by going to www.PayPal.com and set up your account it is free,easy and guarantee transaction safety.Once you send me your PayPal email account, I will send you the payment.

Received an email from a Stephen McIntyre email address of: wilsonkate841@gmail.com and another from the same name but the email address was maccano2@googlemail.com. He offered to purchase after I answered his questions in the first email and then requested all of my personal information in the second email to find out how much it would cost to ship...

This person has two separate scam letters she sends but they always start with an initial reply of
"What is your best price for your listed equipment? . ASAP" . From there you will receive one of two different payment requests.

Good to have your reply. I am anita ford gunior, from Topeka, KS.and
would have loved to come and inspect this at your place myself, but I
am a marine engineer and presently off-shore. I am interested in
buying this for my son in Ohio as a surprise birthday gift and pls
just make sure it is in condition described. I will appreciate more
pictures if available and will be sending your money asap. My shipper
will be available to pick this up as soon as payment is made. Do you
have paypal account? because, I have a paypal account that I can
easily send money through because, its good for business payments. Get
back to me with your paypal email address and name in order for me to
have your money sent on time. Confirm sale to me and remove the add
from posting.

There is no Fort Carson Field in Colorado and there's no B-18.

They insist on using PayPal and having a Shipper pick the item up. These people are bad news.

I almost got scammed too, but thank god for all of you posters! Similar generic email..."i want your item, i'm leaving for London, my assistant will contact you, and I will pay you more than the actual item for your inconvenience." Something told me to google the email address... I think it was the "please send me all of your contact info," I really don't like that. Since the email stated that an assistant would contact me, I wrote back stating I'd rather meet up w/the assistant. Didn't hear back.

Anyhow... here are the scam names and email addresses.

original name = t i, email= ainlifuroptyo@gmail.com. When I replied, the email chgd to: name = JOHN BISHOP, email = johnpilek@gmail.com.

2nd contact -
Original name - Desiree Sherle, email - jennyjoy6384@gmail.com, BUT she signs with the name Eva Bedford and it's sent via an iPhone.
I replied, and the email chgd to: Name - Annabel Adamek, email - Arlinekza568@yahoo.com.

3rd contact (just now) -
original name - Holly Kemp, email: arlinekza568@yahoo.com
Signs with Cheyenne Mcneil in the email body

Hope this helps everyone!
